M is for MASSAGE!

If you believe that massage is a luxury only available to the rich and only for relaxation, stop reading now.

I think massage should be mandatory. Seriously, I do! Massage therapy (note the word therapy) is such an important modality and one that is often undervalued and overlooked. It can treat and support treatment for improved health, headaches, injuries and so much more, including stress relief. If you have had a massage – and in particular, a good massage by an experienced therapist – you already know this.

I have a great massage therapist and I am so excited to tell you about her and her business, Elements of Wellness Massage and Holistic Therapies! Nicole Mitchell has been practicing massage for years and is, in fact, a Reiki Master-Teacher, Integrated Energy Therapy Master-Instructor, Reflexologist, Aromatherapist and Massage Therapist.

Elements of Wellness is located at 450 Hope Street in downtown Bristol. Nicole offers massage therapy, Reiki, Reflexology, Energy Work and Sinus Relief…so helpful in this climate! You can find out more about the different services by going to the website at http://www.elementsofwellness.usor calling (401) 248-4601. In the month of November, you can also take 10% off your gift card purchases, by mentioning this post! If you aren’t going to do it for yourself – definitely do it for someone you love. They will thank you for it, I promise!

Nicole donated a one-hour massage, valued at $70 to the ‘I Am So Thankful’ raffle and the winner is the wonderful Maureen Umehara of the Women's Club SWANS! Congratulations and thank you both on behalf of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
